RIM doesn't give out the keys, they give out the message, so if large governments like the Indian government are unable to crack the messages, then it's unlikely thieves are able to crack them.
All user vaults are encrypted before being uploaded to the site, thus such issues are only a concern for those using weak passwords. Personally, I use a very long, very high entropy password to my vault. My only concern regarding the vault is a keylogger or video camera; the latter of which is actually my biggest fear, because someone wouldn't even have to see my screen to see that I'm obviously typing in a very long, high entropy string of characters.
They don't do that with surface ships. I was on the deactivation crew for the USS Arkansas and the shipyard pulled the cells out of the ship with a crane. They actually built temporary buildings on top of the ship over the reactors called Refueling Area Enclosures. These housed a crane that lifted the cells (with rods welded in) into a 20,000 lb lead 'cask' that shielded the radiation. These were transferred to a larger crane next to the drydock, which transferred the cask and fuel cell from the ship to the final holding vessel, where the cell was dropped in, presumably, for the next 1000 years or so.
I, for one, am grateful for the Chrome browser because it works as a very effective sandbox for everything Google. Ever since Google decided to track me through Google+ +1 buttons added to every page I browse, I've had to remove google.com from my whitelist. I've also switched to Bing as my primary search engine in Firefox, and I have to say, I don't mind getting Xbox Live! points for searches I do.
The features that bother me in Chrome include the very coarse scroll bar, which requires me to manually scroll down when reading longer articles instead of just using my touchpad. I have yet to figure out how the search bar/address bar is supposed to function (the awesome bar and search bar in FF is best I've come across). Last I checked, Chrome equivalents of NoScript do not truly block scripts because they allow them to load briefly before stopping them, giving probably enough time to identify the computer or even run an exploit. I also haven't found a cookie manager like Cookie Monster. I regularly see ads in YouTube videos even with AdBlock installed, most especially in embedded videos (I have no memory of ever seeing ads in YouTube in FF).
At this point, for me, Chrome is not very private and a bigger PITA to use than FF. I don't care what the Germans claim.
I've been importing from China since 2005. I visit at least once per year. Sure, you can start a small business, but want to start a factory? Something that makes real money? Good luck with that.
How is it 'private' when private industry cannot create its own entity? Businesses are only created when the government deems it necessary. Businesses are controlled the same way that wheat was controlled. Additionally, many of the factories are government owned.
China is heavily regulated and still, in fact, communist at its soul. You cannot start your own business, for example. This greatly limits competition between employers.
I like the image search, too. I started using Bing when Google+ came out and every website wanted to have me report to Google through a javascript tied to google.com, but blocking google.com meant search became really lame, so I started using Bing and sandboxed Google into Chrome. I find Bing's results to be better on obscure searches where Gooogle hasn't had someone pick out the best result already, but for most searches Bing is not quite there, but it is getting there. On a side note, I had never used Chrome before, so in 2011 I contributed to the increase in users using Bing and Chrome, however, Firefox is still my regular browser and I use Google and Bing about equally.
Federal judges are appointed for life and can't be fired. So yes, he can rule any way he wants to. Also, judges are immune to the concept of 'power corrupts'; just ask them.
No, because it is impossible to prove. I call it the post-mortem fallacy: where someone argues a position is held by another who was dead long before he or she could have had any opinion on the topic. We don't know what opinion Edison would have had on the new law.
Throughout history there has never been money in being the laborer in mass production, except in modern U.S. and Europe, where those jobs are facing extinction. The money has always been in the non-labor side of things. I'm not talking about shareholders and executives, I'm talking about shift managers, QC managers, engineers, accountants, etc. A 1300 employee factory is going to have at least 1000 laborers and 300 non-laborers. This is why China has a booming middle-class and the U.S. has a shriveling middle-class. The average U.S. worker is simply over-qualified for line production work and in some logical parallel universe these people are working non-labor positions and are not only employed, but better paid.

I doubt the Indian government is hiring 'your average Indian developer'.

We have a winner.
Duh.

The only portion they encrypt is when you're entering your credit card number.
- they said something about security:
"Your internet browser..
My browser runs NoScript, and the Germans didn't include this, so they're still wrong.

Even IBM goes to lengths to get on the Chinese government's good side.

They are also choosing to emigrate, by the tens of millions, from subsistence farms to factories.
So your preference is that there be no factory, thus no choice but to starve?
The workers work voluntarily and can choose their employer, or even choose not to work. This is not slavery.
It's the same thing that E3 devolved into
And COMDEX.

Maybe this kind of technology can save a few lives.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
